This second edition of the catalogue expands significantly on the first, adding descriptions of approximately 130 additional scores and several new features, including descriptions of title-page stamps and an index presenting a consolidated quick-reference view of the collection. This trove of information forms an ideal accompaniment to the University of Chicago Library's digital collection, Chopin Early Editions at chopin.lib.uchicago.edu. This site contains digitized images of the collected scores, with data searchable by title, genre, plate number, publisher, and other elements.
